Burlison issues statement on SAPA decision

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Rep. Eric Burlison (MO-07) issued a statement on the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) court decision. Burlison sponsored SAPA in the Missouri State Legislature.

“As the sponsor of the Second Amendment Preservation Act, I am disappointed but not surprised by the decision from an Obama-appointed, district court judge to unilaterally strike down a pro-Second Amendment law,” Rep. Eric Burlison said.

“The State of Missouri, not a federal judge, should determine how it spends its resources. That’s what SAPA does. I fully support Attorney General Bailey’s announcement to appeal this decision.”

“I will continue to fight to protect Americans’ constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms, just like I did in the Missouri State Legislature,” Burlison said.
